What plans do you have for the future? Who is included in those plans? Are you thinking about those plans correctly?
Pastors, how are you going about training the young preachers the Lord has charged you with? How much time are you putting into them, if any? Are you waiting for them to figure out to come and ask or are you approaching them?
2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” Paul trained Timothy, he invested in him and in other young preachers. Paul knew he wouldn’t live forever and that others needed to be ready to pick up where he left off. Also Paul did it with the view of making sure they were passing on what they already had learned so that third generation would begin to get ready for the 4th generation.
Teachers this applies to you as well, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, etc. get to work on those future plans or there may not be a future worth while.
